If human rights are involved in a sin, for making tawba, one should pay back the wronged person’s rights immediately, ask for his forgiveness, do him favours and invoke blessings on him. If the person who has been deprived of his rights is dead, one should say prayers and istighfâr for him, pay his rights back to his inheritors, and do them favours. If his children or other inheritors are not known, one should distribute money equaling the property or indemnity (against loss of life) to the poor and to the miskins [1] as alms, and intending that its reward be given to the owner of the rights, who has been wronged.
